To degrease I like engine/brake cleaner though you can use petrol. Small files, wet and dry paper, a cordless drill (for spinning the piston) rags and metal polish.
Hi all....
I'm soon going to take my 77 apart and give it the classic " spit, polish & re-lube tune & I wanted to ask you all if there was anything I need especially to do the job. I've never taken a Springer apart before & I'm not sure what lube/polishing equipment and what bits to do?
I'd have thought it would be kinda obvious when I got it apart but thought I'd ask first so I was prepared.
Thanks
Rhys

Do yourself a favour and get some Autosol from halfords or something, Brasso is a bit gutless.

Do I need to polish the compression cylinder? Or is it just the outside of the piston?

Personally I leave the comp tube and polish the piston, but opinions vary

Less is more with the lube but i finds bum slide the best .
Just a tiny bit smeared on the top and bottom of the piston .
Don't pout any lube near the seal they don't need it.
And far less than you would be tempted to put on the guides .
Just a little rub of moly on the spring .
There was a big thing about some 77 and 97 compression cylinders not being properly round i would have thought hw might have sorted that out by now it was new guns about 3or 4 years ago .
